I know about OTR, but I don't like the standard. Due to its transport-independence, it doesn't integrate at all into XMPP. For example, there's no discovery for it. The client determines support at the other side by sending encrypted text and waiting whether a "wtf" by an irritated/confused human or a proper OTR response comes back. It also takes over the regular <body/>-tag for its binary data instead of using a proper separate tag with its own namespace (like xhtml-im). Further, the library's LGPL license is incompatible with Apple's App Store, and so I'd have to implement it on my own… At least the spec seems to be fairly detailed. > "The great thing about standards is there are so many to choose from!" https://xkcd.com/927/ Regards, Andreas Monitzer _______________________________________________ JDev mailing list Info: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev Unsubscribe: jdev-unsubscr...@jabber.org _______________________________________________
